...Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Center in London points out that "it's all about active music making, not passive listening." Ansdell is also scornful of Don Campbell and his "Mozart effect" empire. "It has to be more complex than that," he says. "We're not doing Mozart a favor to reduce him to an effect." But in this Mozart anniversary year, it seems, anything goes. Just ask Carlo Cagnozzi. He's a Tuscan winemaker in Montalcino, near Siena, who has been piping Mozart to his vines for the past five years. He first had the idea as a young...

In retrospect, fortune may have fallen in her favor. She admits that the dorms-and-dining-halls lifestyle may not suit her, even as she’s played a college student herself in 2004’s “In Good Company” (in which her character was accepted into...
Murray’s gesture, while clearly well intentioned, makes him look desperate for an audience, as though it were the students doing him a favor in attending his lecture.

That fostered a climate in which officials were discouraged from sending Bush inconvenient information--such as doubts about the quality of intelligence on Iraq...
Down by four with three minutes left, the Bearcats attempted to fluster Harvard with full court pressure. Although several questionable calls, such as a charge by freshman Emily Tay (10 points), went in Binghamton’s favor, it failed to convert several field goal attempts that could have swung the game to its favor. As the Bearcats desperately tried to regain possession and the lead by committing fouls, the Crimson appeared unaffected by the pressure in nailing five of seven free throw shots to close out the game. McCaffery, banged up by the Bearcat’s rough fouls...
